It helps when you do the diff the right way.

Since somebody is going to screw up and do it - what are the semantics of
'drivers/net' and forgetting the trailing slash?  Does your tool break on
that, and if so, is it silent or noisy (if it's silent, it won't get fixed).

Does the leading '*' match exactly one level, or will it match foo/bar/net/*
as well?

Is a construction like 'net/*/netfilter/*' legal?

Looks for a specific file in the patch called drivers/net

silent

Yes

> or will it match foo/bar/net/* as

No match, the script counts slashes

+sub file_match_pattern {
+    my ($file, $pattern) = @_;
+    if (substr($pattern, -1) eq "/") {
+       if ($file =~ m@^$pattern@) {
+           return 1;
+       }
+    } else {
+       if ($file =~ m@^$pattern@) {
+           my $s1 = ($file =~ tr@/@@);
+           my $s2 = ($pattern =~ tr@/@@);
+           if ($s1 == $s2) {
+               return 1;
+           }
+       }
+    }
+    return 0;
+}

Enhancements appreciated.

Yes

Just to be clear, which one is picked with a patch for drivers/net/foo? 
Both or the most common one?

SUBSYSTEM1
P: Person 1
F: */net/

SUBSYSTEM2
P: Person 2
F: drivers/net/

Both.  Find a match, add, look for more.

I'm a perl "groper in the dark" myself.
